The Set-Up
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Set-Up is the name of a long poem by Joseph Moncure March. It is also the name of several films:
- the best-known is the 1949 film of that name, which was based on the Joseph Moncure March poem and was directed by Robert Wise.
- the 1978 short of that name was a student film by Kathryn Bigelow;
- the 1995 film of that name was directed by Strathford Hamilton and starred Billy Zane and Mia Sara;
In 2002, Variety reported that Sidney Lumet had adapted a remake of The Set-Up, which he would direct; Benjamin Bratt was attached to star as the boxer, with James Gandolfini also attached and Halle Berry in negotiations. [1]
However, that package fell apart, and in 2004 it was reported that the remake would be directed by Franc. Reyes (who had directed Empire). [2][3][4]
In 2005 it was reported that Reyes would begin shooting in April 2005 in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. [5][6]
